Canadian Railroads > CN ES44AC assignmentsDate: 11/26/12 16:56 CN ES44AC assignments Author: NWRailfan As more units continue to be delivered where will be their primary assignments? From coal mines in BC,AB primarily I assume to the coast but will they be captive or aloud to roam at all? Will they be assigned to any one shop for maintenance? Thanks for any help

“We will harness the key advantage of AC traction – much higher adhesion or train-pulling ability at low speeds -- in assigning the new AC units to heavy-haul coal service in northern British Columbia and Alberta, where steep grades and sharp rail curvature make heavy demands on our locomotives.” Date: 11/27/12 20:18 Re: CN ES44AC assignments Author: CN_Hogger Knowing CN's power-mismanagement, they'll eventually wander.
